‘Erina, is everything alright by your side?’ Elysia sent telepathy via her temporary connection to Erina’s spirit.

‘We’re on our way back to Japan, Ellie. We’re almost there. I can already see Tokyo.’ Erina responded excitedly as she gazed at the city below her plane.

‘Okay. We’re still in your penthouse.’ Elysia opened the curtains and looked up at the starry night sky.

Erina then asked Elysia to wait a little longer because she would be arriving soon, and Elysia didn’t mind either.

‘Sister Elena, Erina’s group will be here soon in about an hour. Would you like to meet them?’ Elysia asked the golden divine beauty on the sofa.

‘Hmm, we won’t gain anything by me meeting them. I better return to the Elysian Realm now. There, I have you only for me, hehe~’ Elena got up from her seat and dematerialized her form before entering Elysia’s body.

“Eh?” Vanessa blinked her eyes with curiosity.

“Erina will be here soon. Are you sleepy?” Elysia came to the sofa and stroked Vanessa’s head.

“It’s only eight o’clock in the evening and it’s not yet bedtime.” Vanessa shook her head.

Elysia just smiled gently and patted her lap.

“Gulp.” Vanessa gulped her saliva as she couldn’t resist the irresistible offer. She transformed her form into a cat and curled up in her master’s lap.

A nearby seven-tailed fox glanced sideways and climbed onto Elysia’s lap. Yuuki snuggled up with Vanessa there.

“Hmm?” Lynn noticed Yuuki was no longer next to her. She then realized the situation and chose to move next to Elysia as she didn’t want to watch the horror film herself.

“How comfy. If I could transform into the fluffy little one, maybe it would be fun to snuggle together like them.” Sylvia rested her head on her hands while looking at Vanessa and Yuuki with a bit of envy.

“Want to try it?” Elysia made an offer as she caressed Vanessa and Yuuki in a gentle motion.

Sylvia misunderstood Elysia’s offer. She nodded in response and tried to rest her head on Elysia’s lap.

“I can’t turn into a fluffy little one.” Sylvia looked up.

“But you can still receive a head pat. What movie are you watching, Lynn?” Elysia used her other hand to stroke Sylvia’s head.

“It says devil’s resident. A horror movie. Look, Erina have many collection there.” Lynn picked up the disc case on the table and pointed to the cabinet near the TV.

“Yeah, the movie has started, and Lynn is getting scared~” Sylvia smirked teasingly.

“I’m not afraid. Just don’t want to watch it alone. You were the one operating the device to play the movie in that disc, but you didn’t seem interested.” Lynn pursed her lips.

“Hmm, that’s because it’s a poorly made film. Devil’s resident isn’t what the movie describes. What’s with those zombies and those disgusting demons. We don’t even know which one they call the devil. The main characters are only two humans, strangely enough capable to slay demons with just a knife and a gun. They need something like this to survive! Unlike those cheap weapons.” Sylvia stood up and sat down on the sofa with a sigh. She then took out her silver super gun to set an example.

“Why not just enjoy the movie? We can have some popcorns if you want. Look, Vanessa and Yuuki are going to watch too.” Elysia noticed Vanessa and Yuuki still watching the movie. Therefore, she put out some popcorn for everyone.

“Wow, popcorn and earth’s movie? Count me in!” Nell flew over as she wanted to join.

Rhea put the glass jar on a table in the corner of the room. Nature spirits were currently relaxing in their neutral elemental treasures. She then went to the family room and joined Elysia and the others to watch the movie while waiting for Erina to come.

“Well, I guess I should join too. They’re already asleep, while Ai and Lina have gone to their respective private places.” Lifa heaved a subtle sigh when she saw Xentia and Evelyn asleep on the bed. Gio too, but he was on the sofa.

Lifa then left the bedroom to join the others in the family room.

A few moments later, the entrance was opened. Still, Elysia and the girls were too absorbed in watching a movie together.

“Ellie, can you let us in?” Erina knocked on the barrier in the living room.

“Eh, you’ve come, Erina? Please come in.” Elysia looked back and saw that Erina was already there. She immediately revoked her barrier.

“Mm, we’re back. Watching TV?” Erina raised her hand in greeting.

“Hi~ Please join us.” Elysia invited, and Erina accepted.

Unfortunately, the movie was over when Erina took her seat.

“…” Mitsuzuka and Kenji looked at each other rather awkwardly. They could now see several members of the Guardian of Dream without their black robes and masks.

There were a few new faces, but they knew that it was only some of the members. For the rest, the others might have gone home?

“Ah, the movie is over. Erina, you have something to say, right? Can we move to the living room and talk about it there?” Elysia made up her mind, but she wouldn’t spoil her friends’ fun. “You can watch other movies if you want. Erina has a nice collection.”

“Mm, please watch whatever you want. Then, let’s move to the living room, Ellie.” Erin nodded in agreement.

“All right.” Elysia stroked Vanessa and Yuuki’s heads once and then stood up. She put them on the sofa, then went to the living room with Erina and Rhea.

Mitsuzuka, Kenji, and Mio followed shortly after.

“Want to watch another movie or stop here? Hey, what’s with this movie? Devil will cry? Will the devil cry just because watching this?” Sylvia checked Erina’s collection in a nearby cabinet.

“I think that’s enough. This is not entertainment for me, apparently. Theatrical music performance is much more entertaining in my opinion.” Lynn shook her head.

“Hmm.” Vanessa and Yuuki nodded in unison. They wanted to eavesdrop on Elysia and Erina’s conversation now.

“Good evening. We apologize for using your property without your permission, Erina.” Elysia opened the conversation by apologizing.

“Don’t worry about it, Ellie. I can give you this penthouse if you want.” Erina sat beside Elysia and held Elysia’s hand.

“Hehe, that’s too much for me. I would feel comfortable just coming to visit your residence.” Elysia shook her head.

“Ellie, are you really leaving tomorrow? May I know how long it will take you to return to your world before coming here again? Is there anything I can do for you? If possible, I would like to come along and help you save your world.” Erina expresses her wish with a solemn expression.

She was serious about what she said, but everything was pushed just because she felt reluctant to let Elysia go. She knew it would take Elysia some time to return, and it was not a short while.

“We can’t predict it. You can’t come because it’s too dangerous. Actually, you too will probably face dangerous situations from now on, but someone will assign a certain someone to help your family in times of need.” Elysia shook her head.

“I will overcome all those dangers and overcome them. Therefore, I will become stronger soon. By the time you return, I am sure you will see me on another height.” Erina heaved a subtle sigh, then expressed her resolve once again.

“I will look forward to your progress by then.” Elysia nodded slightly with a tender smile.

“Well then, Elysia. Can we move on to other matters for a moment?” Mitsuzuka raised his hand.

“Sure. Is something bothering you, sir?” Elysia gave her approval.

“We thought America was challenging your organization and wanted Xentia back, but why are they suddenly acting like they are currying favor with you? Great General Jack even left the issue of Xentia, and didn’t mention it once. Is it possible they did that just to attract your organization’s attention?” Mitsuzuka asked confusedly.

“That could be true. They had a bit of a misunderstanding and already apologized. They also gave us some compensation. Some things have already been explained in the discussion regarding demonic practitioners. No one can blame anyone now, including the tragedy of human experimentation in America, right?” Rhea implied.

“Yeah, that’s true. Luckily, the news was well sealed, and the issues were killed down quickly. All countries are now working together to eradicate the demonic practitioners. However, as for the planned retaliatory invasion of the Underworld… I don’t think that will happen soon enough.” Mitsuzuka sighed and shook his head.

“That will keep everyone busy for a while. If they manage to build up enough power for it, they will be at their own risk. The Underworld is vast, and the number of demons far outnumbers humans. The common demon also stronger than ordinary humans. Do your thing with a mature plan and make an impenetrable base there. That way, you can properly retaliate against their invasion of the earth.” Rhea gave some excellent advice.

“We will remember it to be proposed to the others.” Mitsuzuka nodded in understanding.

Mitsuzuka and Kenji then discussed some crucial things with Elysia and her little sister for a few minutes before it was all over.

After that, Erina suddenly grabbed Elysia’s hand again. “Ellie, how strong do you think we are in your world standard? We can’t use our ranking system against the demon’s world, let alone other realms. That Inter Realm Association also gave me an eye opener that humans are weak creatures.”

“Please don’t say things like that. Humans have infinite potential. It’s just a matter of whether they can reach it or not. Strength is not only measured by ranking either. Look, I’m still at rank four in your ranking system, and your grandfather can’t beat me.” Elysia answered playfully.

“Ellie, you are a special existence…” Erina felt helpless because it was true. She shouldn’t be too fixated on principles; the higher rank would mean the stronger one would become.

“Hmm, how about you try going through a trial? If you succeed, I’ll give you a gift. The gift doesn’t apply to Erina. Only to Mio, Sir Mitsuzuka, and Sir Kenji.” Elysia proposed an idea.

Mitsuzuka and Kenji instantly expressed their full approval. They became a bit excited now, including Mio.

Erina wouldn’t get a gift, but she would use this opportunity to test her strength through Elysia’s trial.

“Please wait a moment.” Elysia went back to the living room. Yet, she finds the girls eavesdropping on a conversation in the living room.

She didn’t mind it and just asked Lifa for something before returning to the living room.

Elysia borrowed a trial rune, but Lifa gave a lite version of the item instead.
